Third Floor Common Room - Wednesday Evening

[hawkeye-too.livejournal.com]

Between one thing and another, Kate had never actually watched a live episode of the TV show Bow Arrow.  But she had downloaded all the previous episodes and watched them on her laptop.  Just for professional curiosity, you know.  Someone was making a TV show about a superhero with a bow!  It was almost required she watch.

...and he was really, really hot in the training montages that showed up in almost every episode.  Yeah, she totally watched this for the plot.

[I have been waiting to do this forever!]

"If you'd stopped at the first two, I wouldn't be laughing at you right now," Kate advised him.

[dollpocalypse]

"Um, joke's on you, that gauntlet is badass." COME ON NOW, KATE.

DON'T LET YOUR OBSESSION FOOL YOU, TOPHER.

"The broken-off piece is. Uh huh."

[dollpocalypse]

"It is if I can find out how to duplicate it!" Topher sing-songed back.

Good god. All this conversation needed was a 'nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah.'

[hawkeye-too.livejournal.com]

The 'nyah-nyah-nyah-nyah' was understood. Was it the first step in becoming a supervillain? POSSIBLY.

There were probably better responses. Kate's was "you are such a nerd."

[dollpocalypse]

"And proud," he smirked right back, returning with a bag of popcorn. "See if I share any of this with you."

She could easily steal it from him without probably even moving from her spot on the couch.

And so she did. Because...it was there? Also he was hating on Bala.

"I'm sorry, you were saying?" Kate asked, reaching for a handful of her newly won spoils.

[dollpocalypse]

Topher blinked from Kate to the popcorn that he no longer had.

"I'm telling Billy you're secretly a supervillain," he announced.

"There's no way he'd believe that," she pointed out. "This popcorn is awesome. Want some?" Keeping a firm grip on it, Kate held the bag out to him.

See how kind she was? Offering Topher his own popcorn!

[dollpocalypse]

Topher thought about rejecting the offer on principle, but... popcorn.

"Yes," he grumbled, taking a handful. "I'll bet you anything that at least fifty percent of popcorn thiefs grow up to be supervillains. Or... fifty percent of supervillains were popcorn thiefs at one point."

That second sounded better, yeah.

"Even the ones from non-popcorn having galaxies?" Kate checked. She could actually picture Nate as a popcorn thief.

[dollpocalypse]

[[...I CAN SPELL, I SWEAR]]

"No, they're the control group," Topher said, waving a hand. "...Man, the people in those galaxies must be so deprived."

[hawkeye-too.livejournal.com]

"Almost worse than those who exist without chocolate," she agreed, offering him more.

[dollpocalypse]

"I have this friend who's from space where they don't have ice cream," Topher offered. "When he came here, he got super addicted, obviously."

[hawkeye-too.livejournal.com]

"He got super lucky he came here then." She might have been mocking his phrasing there.

[dollpocalypse]

"Well, he's in space now with his boyfriend," Topher shared. "Possibly for years. With no ice cream at all."

So sad.
